A YOUNG MANS FALL,
The Topic of the Sermon at the
Cathedral Yesterday.

Cathedral Yesterday.
At high mass yesterday morning at
the cathedral, Father Gibbons was the
celebrant, Fathers Fitzpatrick and
Byrne, deacon and sub-deacon, Mon
signor Ravoux occupying the throne.
The church was crowded, many stran-
gers being present who had come to at
tend the state fair. The sermon was
preached by Rev. Father Fitzpatrick,
who first read the lesson and gospel of
the day-the fifteenth Sunday after
PentecOst The speaker began his dis
course by quoting from the gospel the
following: Young man, / say to thee.
arise; and he that was dead sat up and
began to speak" He touched ON the
sad scene depicted in the Gospel-a wild
owed mother overcome with grief assist
ing at the last mOurnful rites attendant
upon the burial of her only boy, and the
happy arrival of Christ. The Rev. Father
spoke of the great number of children
who grow up under the careful guild
ance of religious mothers, their every
step being watched and guarded with
that tender solieitude which only a
mother can bestOw upon loving child.
But alas, he said, the period of young
manhood arrives. A child no longer,
Cne boy begins 10 cnaIo unQer parental
restraint and he seeks for independence.
He goes out into the wicked world,
where he is beset with it's numerous
trials and temptations, and we all know
the result. The young man falls vic
tim to the powerful Vaccinations of the
devil and the episode spoken of in the
gospel soon tranSpireS-the mother
weeping over her child, dead to the
grace of God. The speaker likened the
child mentioned in the gospel to each
one of his listeners, and the mother to
the Catholic church. He also paid a
glowing tribute to the mother of chill
dren, whose constant care lies in the
welfare of their fiockS.

1t gives me great pleasure to be here
to-day, to look into your faces and to
know that this body is assembled to

OF this kind were rarely to be met with.

Not Hosti'o 20 Settlers.

OCaILTREE, Tex, Dec u, 1887,
To The E 1itor of the Gazette
A few weeks since l saw the statement
in the papers that the manager CT the
Rocking Ch,ir ranch had ordered all the
settlers off their range, which I supposed
to be true, until more recently l saw in
the columns Of yeur paper, under date Of
October 81, a similar statement in regard
to the manager of the &C with osr above)
ranch, which know to be false, as 1 am
one Of the settlers on Wolf creek, and
have lived here for the last seven months,
and know whereof 1 speak. Such reports
are not only an Injustice to Mr.. Mac
kinZie, the manager OF the &C with bar
above) ranch, but they are detrimental to
the settleme Mt of the country. They lead
people to believe that they cannot settle
in the Panhandle without having trouble
with the cattlen en-.
Now I want to say that the &C with
bar above) rsnchmen and the settlers are
on the most friendly terms and every
thing is going on tremendously. Our
county is settling up with good class of
citizens, and at present We need no out
side help to keep the peace, and if those
of1ice-seekers, who pretend to oe looking
after the dear peoples interest will just
leave out that part of trying to work up
bad feeling between the ranchmen and
the settlers, We people up here will be
much obliged. r. S. Cutter.

a POSITIVE PUBLIC NEED.

THE Evening Journal of Duluth, Mimi. +,
says: Every farmer and citizen living at
q distance from large towns feels the ne
cessity for some means of renting
small sums OF money. Only about IA
per cent Of our postonices are supplied
with postal notes, and 1t is often difficult
to get postage stamps. The proposition
to receive fractional currency in amounts
OF 10, 10, 25, so and Is cents meets with
universal approval as supplement to our
present silver coin. To the weekly press
such action would be decided boon, for
many subscriptions are delayed or never
sent from the difficulty in getting postage
stamps or postal notes. In the payment
of wages by large manufacturers the
fractional currency will be found much
more convenient in making change than
silver, which is too bulky for the purpose.
This new issue could, If necessary, be
based upon silver, and be always good in
exchange for silver. 1t is to be hoped
that this plan may be carried through"

FREEZING FARMERS.

The terrible tales of suffering and death
in Kansas that comes to US by the press
dispatches are enough to make people
who can find existence at all tolerable in
Texas contented and gratifed for the
mildness OF the climate. The fact that
the farmers of the country with their
wives and little ones sre freezing to death
for lack Of fire should be enough to deter
any one from venturing out there. The
railroads and coal barons are blamed for
creating the fuel famine, and so high is
the feeling against them that trains pass
ing through the state loaded with coal are
captured as prizes Of war By freezing
people. Whether or not the railroads
are to blame matters little. If coun-
try so well advertised as is Kan
sss, where money is cheap and
wealth increasing rapidly, cannot furnish
fuel to keep her people from lying, the
boom she has been enjoying has been fc-
titious and no one can blame farmers for
mortgsgipg their homes for what they can
get, SO that they may be enabled to leave
and seek more genial climate. Texas
has fuel and farms enough for the present
population of Kansas and the freezing
people of that state will soon learn the
fact and move down here.

which were discussed the necessity and

opinion of those participating that some

to come together and that Fort Worth be
selected IS the place Of meeting. Our

formed, proceed at once to arrange the
details and get the movement well under

Of the surplus accumulated through the
tariff represents another dollar paid by
the consuming "people" to the manufac-

be divided among the producing and
